A Matter for Thought-Roads

a Matter Tor ThOuRht-RO0d
American Agricultural for January.
Good roads not only cave horse.
flesh, but vehicles. Take what
are ordinarily called sgood roads"
and "bad roads," and a vehicle
used on the first only will last
twice as long, at least, as one used
on the latter only. No one can
doubt that country roads would be
fifty per cent. better than they now
are, if the labor and money put
NJ pom them were properly applied.
How to have that work and money
properly applied is the matter to
be discussed now, that the best
methods may be made ready for
adoption when the season for road
making comes. Whether or not
the road-bed should be only surface
drained, or nnderdraine6 with tile,
or by putting in corduroy founda-
ton; whether or not gravel, or
plank, or tile-these are points TO
be decided before spring. The
farmers, club should also discuss
specifically the repair of each high
way in the neighborhood. This
will lead, among other things, to
an understanding whether or not
1t will be proper to shorten a high
way by Strengthening it; whether
road that now goes around a hill
should be carried over it by grad
ing down the hill, or whether max
ing a road longer by carrying it
around hill will be compensated
for by the less grade; how to keep
weeds from growing in the high
ways, to seed the adjacent land,
aud many other points which. thus
being settled, would greatly add to
the improvement of the roads.

Wheeling Register.
Since the Morrison bill will not
be considered, We are glad to see
that the Randall Democrats are
getting ready e measure for the re-
duction of the revenue and the re-
vision Of the tariff that will doubt
less be far more acceptable 20 the
people. All are decided that the
taxes must be reduced even to a
greater extent than proposed by
Col. Morrison and the question Of
how is now under consideration.
It is likely that the bill will pro.
pose the repeal of the revenue on
tobacco and on spirits that are used
in the arts and manufactures
Also it IL likely that the duty on
sugar Eill be reduced and some of
the coarser woods that are not rails
ed in this country aud are import
ed for making cheap fabrics will be
repealed and the tariff on the finer
woods raised as high as IL was be.
fore it was reduced by the Republi
cans. There may also be Teduc-
tions made in regard TO iron ore,
lumber and salt. The tariff on
steel rails is now SIT on the tom
This is much higher than is neces-
sary for protection, and will NO
doubt be greatly reduced.
Such changes as the above will
make reduction greater than Mr..
Morrison proposed and will bring
down the revenues TO something
near the expenses of the Govern
ment.
There will be but eight weeks
more OF this session of Congress in
which to reduce the taxation, and
with other important bills already
under consideration, it will take
active work to effect anything be-
fore adjournment. But the people
demand all the speed possible.

The American Party.

The American Party, new political
organization. has issued a call for a
national convention to meet in Phila-
delphia, Sept Is, IL. Everybody is
invited to join. Here are some of the
specific objects of the new party:
l. To emphasize and perpetuate the
sentiment, "America for Americans"
2. The restriction of immigration.
3. A thorough revision of the nat
uralizatiOn laws.
A. Reserving American lands for
American citizens only.
5. The protection of Americans in
all their rights, on land or sea, in all
parts of the world.
6. To restrict and guard the right
of elective franchise.
z. To abolish polygamy in the
United States Immediately and entire
ly.
8. To enact and enforce such laws
as will tend to eradicate intemperance.
9. To develop the resources of the
country by a wise system of internal
improvements.
10. To protect and promote the

Railroad Hearing.

The three days of the hearing in the
Boston and Albany's case against the
Boston and Lowell and other roads be-
fore the United States commission at
Rutland closed Saturday evening. The
case was brought by the Boston & AL
bany against the Boston & Lowell and
Central Vermont with their connecting
lines. These latter combine to form a
fast freight line known as the National
Dispatch and their rates are lower
from Boston to Detroit, than from BOs
to st. Adams by the same roads not in
National Dispatch cars. The roads
claim that the National Dispatch is a
distinct corporation that does no bust
ness south of st. Johns, P. O., and that
the B. & A. is simply trying to get rid
of the competition it meets from the
National Dispatch of western business.
The attendance on the meetings has
not been very large, one noticeable
thing in regard to the attendance be-
ing the small number of state grangers
present. They were well represented,
however, in the person of Senator Ed
munds.
AS result of the meeting it is said
that there is ground for believing that
the Central Vermont is preparing to
surrender on the matter of local rates
in Vermont, and to reduce them to a
lower figure than the through rates, or
even to proportion of the through
rates. 1t is said they would have been
glad to do so, if they could have avoid
ed the hearing. The Springfield Re-
publican says that the evidence of the
tariffs submitted was so overwhelming
in its unfairness to the people of YER
mont that no more evidence in behalf
of the grange side of the controversy
was considered necessary. An early
and decisive ruling from the commits
sion is hoped for.

A Coincidence.

The last installment of the Lincoln
history in the September Century mag
azine and the recent interview of the
Toledo Blade reporter with Robert T..
Lincoln in relation to the coming pres
idential campaign furnish two rather
interesting paragraphs as showing the
attitude of father and son when ap-
preached in much the same manner on
the same subject. The Century histO-
rians say that Abraham Lincoln was
approached by an Illinois editor early
In April, 1859, over year before the
assembling of the national convention,
that nominated him, with the request
that he permit the use of his name as
candidate for the presidency. Mr..
Lincoln's answer was dated Spring
field, ILL.,, April Is, 1859, and in it he
says:
l must in candor say L do not think
myself fit for the presidency. l GER
tainly am flattered and gratitied that
some partial friends think of me in that
connection but really think it best
for our cause that no concerted effort,
such as you suggest, should be made.
Last weeks interview of the Toledo
Blade reporter with Robert T. Lincoln
brought from the son these words SO
strikingly like those spoken by the ia
Their nearly 80 years before and giving
evidence of the same modest estimate
of his own capabilities:
While l am gratifed by the kind
tone of these references to myself as
an independent matter, greatly re-
greet the use of my name in connection
with any public Office whatever. E.
My fitness is not to be compared with
that of hundreds of other good repub-
licans.
The interview furnished other evil
dences that the son has inherited many
of his fathers traits.

A Costly Dry Well.

A notable failure in boring an arte-
sian we'll was that by Bedding Broth
ers, silk manufacturers, at Northamp-
ton, Mass. They abandoned their pro-
ject after working night and day for
two years and boring to a depth of
300 feet, or about five seventies of a
mile at a total expense of $35, 900.
This is the second deepest well in
the world, and the entire depth, except
the first 165 feet, was through sand
stone. This failure to find water is a
puzzle to scientific men who predicted
water at no great depth, and shows
that one man can see into the bowels
Of the earth about as far as another.
1t is also sad disappointment and
heavy loss to this firm who had hoped
to find abundance of pure water to
wash their silk with and save an ex-
orbitant tax charged them by the wa
ter company. The silk company re-
